Trumpington Pavilion was originally built in the early 1950's as a sports pavilion to provide changing rooms and refreshments for teams playing on the King George V Playing Field. The original building was about half the size of the new main building, including a small hall and changing rooms

The Trumpington Tornadoes football team has been one of the major users of the Pavilion since the 1970s.

The old Pavilion gradually declined and has been out of use for some years. After a lot of discussion and planning, it has been renovated by Cambridge City Council, working with the Trumpington Residents' Association. The architects have been 5th Studio and main contractors SDC.

The building work has involved almost completely replacing the original building, adding a new changing room block and paving the surrounding area. The Residents' Association has taken over the administration of the new building.
